Nerf Grenades!

Hold your horses! I don't mean nerfing any of the existing grenades, was just reading yet another topic started by the person that wants everything nerfed in this game and was wondering if anything would make "nerfkid" happy. So,  I present you...

Nerf grenades! Similar to an arc star but not doing any damage (nerfed arc star, had to say it). Anyone within its blast radius gets nerfed for a few seconds in the following way:

  • can't run (or is forced into crouching position);
  • can't slide;
  • can't climb walls;
  • can't use abilities;
  • weapons rate of fire and reload speed are reduced to half.

If you stick the nerf grenade on the enemy, one of these funny things gets to happen:

  • his jetpacks activate and send him go up or in the direction he was going, without him being able to change it for the next 5 seconds;
  • he becomes a bullet magnet for the next 5-10 seconds: any projectile going on a path closer than a meter to his hitbox changes trajectory and hits him with 0.5 of its specific legs damage;
  • completely jams his weapons. 

A Nerf Gun (Launcher) would be possible too, allowing you to launch these nerf grenades at greater distances, also increasing their blast radius and grenade effects a bit, to make it worth taking a weapon slot.

Nerf guys, would you like that? 🙂

    @Wingmannedbro Was thinking to add the idea of having the head swell when stuck with a nerf grenade, for easy headshots. But that's too cartoony 🙂

    The only weapon I take issue with is the R-99. It melts through shields like one doesn't even have them on. It's entirely too overpowered for an smg. Even after the nerf it still dominates. Every time I get downed by one it makes me turn red. I give no credit to people that use them. I'd rather be gunned down by a Charge Rifle than an R-99.

    @Koochi-QThanks 🙂

    I actually have an idea how to "nerf" walls too: Sonic Blaster! Short range weapon with a very wide, circular spread, that can hit enemies through walls. Can use energy ammo and have a loud and long-ish charge up time. Instead of scope it can have a scanner, marking detected enemies for a few seconds. It can blast doors open as well. The damage it does reduces over distance, reaching 0 in 50m.

    That would actually be pretty funny, especially with Caustic's clown skin lmao.
